Creating an action link in a Controller

Question
In one of my controller actions, I'm generating some XML. One of the attributes in that XML is an href
to another controller and action, with some parameters. The XML should look something like this:
<projects>
<project id="42" name="Project X", href="/projects/42"/>
<!-- etc. -->
</projects>
I don't mind if the URL is relative or absolute, but my question is this: how do I generate the URL in the controller code, in a type-safe way?
In other words, how do I do what HtmlHelper.ActionLink
does, but from a controller?
Solution
Found it by using Reflector:
string href = Url.Action("DetailsAsXml", new { projectId = item.Id });
